As a complete beginner gardener who moved house last year and inherited a tiered blank canvas garden I decided to sign up for Lee’s Garden Ninja Beginner Design Course. I’ve learnt such a lot and I love how Lee breaks down information into bite size sections with videos and tips on all of the basic guidelines that you need to understand. Each topic was easily digestible and you can move to particular section. You can also download images and designs for each of the aspects, with multiple examples which means that you can build a very valuable source of information as reference material for the future.  I’d recommend purchasing the course bundle so that you have access to around 30 different designs and then work your way through the courses as and when you have time.

After completing the courses last week I booked a 1 hour on-line consultation call with Lee which has given me the confidence to proceed with the design ideas I’ve been floating but wasn’t sure if they’d work. Lee reviewed my draft plan and photos before we spoke, and because I’d done my homework by completing the course, we discussed my gardening experience, the high level brief of how I want to use my garden and the effect I’m trying to achieve, so we went straight into full design mode! It was amazing, I thought I was a client on Garden Rescue! Within 30 minutes Lee had sketched out my basic design on copies of the photos I’d sent leaving us time to talk about plants/trees which would complement the design and how to resolve some of the issues with a neighbours fence, the tiers, tree stumps etc.

Lee was so warm and friendly, just like you see him on the TV, it was such a great call and I got so much out of it. Lee sent me scanned copies of the sketches he made, re-capped each area that we discussed as well as links to planting suggestions, the colour wheel etc, so I’m now all set now to put my design together.

I can’t thank Lee enough for all of the advice and encouragement, what he offers is truly fantastic so if you’re wanting work done in your garden and need independent professional advice on your project, however small or large I would 100% recommend booking in an on-line consultation with the chief garden ninja!

New build and a very overlooked garden

After living in a secluded and private plot with land in Norfolk we decided to go for a new build but with an overlooked garden. We were aware about it from the start so as soon as we settled we took on the project of improving the privacy of our back garden. That's how we found Lee, his website and YouTube channel. We were happy with what we saw and learnt from his site and  immediately booked a consultation with him. And we are so happy we did !! Even friends and with garden experience would come up with some ideas for us which wouldn't work or wouldn't do us any favours to the issues we needed to deal with. That's why we wanted to have a specialist who can highlight different points to us. The structure of the consultation was brilliant: you send the required info/pics beforehand with your concerns and at the beginning of the consultation there's a short introduction from you, and then lots and lots of information with drawings on your sketches/photos from Lee with all the tips, explanations and reasons why and how,  followed by links to the mentioned info by email the next day.
We genuinely believe that we will save ourselves money by starting the process with this consultation from lee.

Love the video's and all the helpful advice on his website, it really helps especially being new to gardening, definitely one of the best sites for information and guidance. It's been a massive help,  especially the way in which lee explains/walks you through certain topics.

Lee is great. I reached out to him as I was having issues with my new turf. Lee responded straight away an explained to me what the problem was and also provided me with a solution. He's also asked to follow up with him in a week which is great 👍

Lee's consultation took me from completely confused and stressed about my garden, to really excited about what it could become. I'm a complete novice with a new build garden. I had a basic turf & patio arrangement, but after living there a few years I realized the patio was all wrong.

As well as giving me a draft design, Lee helped me understand some basic garden design principles that let me go away and come up with a design that would work for me and my family.

We've finally got the landscaping done and I am so happy with how it's turned out. There is no way I could have come up with this design on my own. The consulation was the best money every spent and I highly recommend it to anyone with a garden dillema.

We thoroughly enjoyed our 1 hour consultancy with Lee. Before the meeting we had some ideas but were worried if they'd work. After speaking to Lee we now have a clear idea of what we can do in our garden and the confidence to do it (and go bold!). I am not sure why we hesitated in contacting the Garden Ninja as he is an expert in both plants and garden design and his shared knowledge will prevent us from making some costly mistakes.
Many Thanks Lee

Garden Ninja Reviews

Overlooked Back garden 5 Star: Lee knows his stuff and is very professional, reliable and friendly. He really is the ideal person to help you make that start with any garden re-design whether that be big or small. I only wish I knew he could help years ago before wasting time and money buying the wrong plants and coming up with silly ideas that just didn’t work in the long run. He is very passionate about what he does. We can’t recommend him highly enough. Professional inspiration and advice make all the difference.

Child-Friendly Back Garden Manchester 5 Star: Lee has been brilliant with our strange garden requirements. We have two young children and bought a house that used to be offices – so it has a grey, stony car park at the back of it. I wanted child-friendly, fun and stylish. Lee looked at a design I’d come up with and made it into a really stylish design that will actually work for all the family, whilst also making sure that the plants are non-toxic, hardy by the play area and my favourite plant colours.

One of my worries about using any professionals was that they can usually take your opinions, and discard them to design something that will look good in their portfolio but not necessarily suit the client. This isn’t the case with Lee; he meets up with you a number of times, discusses ideas, shows mood boards and ideas and he uses an iterative design approach so you can really get the detail you want. He’s also very open to working within budgets – ours isn’t huge and he’s suggested many ways of keeping it down. I’m very excited about actually starting our project in the next few weeks!

Small Garden Makeover 5 Star:

Lee totally transformed my boring, badly designed small back garden last year and now I absolutely love it! Lee’s skilled judgement soon came up with a plan to redesign the garden by adding some raised beds and moving the patio. What I really liked about the whole process was the detailed planning regarding the planting scheme.

Lee really listened to my preferences regarding the colour scheme and then suggested other plants that would work well. I have to say he knows his stuff, and he seemed to instinctively know what I would like. Since the garden makeover, I spend much more time in it entertaining friends or just relaxing. My garden is now like an extension of my home. I would highly recommend Lee to take on any small garden redesign. Katrina

Front Garden Redesign 5 Star: 

Garden Ninja Design, is a fantastic Designer, with a wealth of knowledge of plants and materials and is very helpful through out the design process, we would recommend Lee to design your out door space.

Child-Friendly Garden 5 Star:

Highly recommended!! Lee is really knowledgeable and had some great ideas for our new build garden when we were all out of ideas. It’s really amazing what you can do with a small space given some professional advice. We really can’t wait to put Lee’s ideas into reality. I would hesitate to recommend Lee to anyone. Shawn

Sensory Story Garden Wythenshawe 5 Star: 

Lee has done a great job realising my dreams for the sensory story garden at Wythenshawe Park. He has been fully committed, professional and inspirational throughout.. even battling with the council!
Thank you Lee. Selina
